Who Do You Think Won The VP Debate, Pence Or Kaine? [POLL, VIDEO]
The Vice Presidential Debate is now over, so it's time to decide who won, Tim Kaine or Mike Pence?
Kaine, Hillary Clinton's running mate, and Pence, Donald Trump's running mate, faced off in the first (and only) Vice Presidential Debate of 2016. This debate was certainly less spiteful and volatile than the Presidential Debate last week, but it certainly had its share of memorable, heated moments.
Heading into the debate, both vice presidential nominees had differing strategies.
"I've been in elected life for 22 years," Kaine said, via CNN, adding, "it's not knowing another fact, but it is about thinking hard about the material, thinking hard about Pence's record, and also what Pence's record would say about the guy who chose him, since it really is more about Donald Trump than it is about Gov. Pence."
Meanwhile, Pence told Hugh Hewitt last week, "I am doing a little preparation for it. And a little bit more traditional than my running mate. . . . For my part, my focus the last four years has been and continues to be on leading the state of Indiana. So, I've been brushing up on all those Washington issues I used to deal with full time when I was in Congress, but I'm looking forward to a good debate next week."
The debate featured plenty of crosstalk between Kaine and Pence, with both men stumping for their respective candidates through and through. Many of the same topics addressed at previous debates were covered, including Russia and Vladimir Putin, North Korea, the Clinton Foundation, tax returns and various soundbites from both Clinton and Trump.
